What criteria do admission officers look for in an application?
It is important for you to research the schools you are interested in to see what the criteria for acceptance is for each school. Each school has its own admissions philosophy, policy, and procedures. Basically all schools look at the same criteria which is: course work, grade point average, test scores, rank in class, activities, essays, letters of recommendations, and interviews. The importance placed on each item changes from school to school. You can find this information in the college catalogue or by talking to an admissions counselor or a college representative.
